Viceroy

Viceroy on asters

Last Monday was a lovely day and various butterflies were busily sipping aster  nectar. I haven't seen a ton of viceroys this year but I have seen a few.

I am linking to Madge's Weekly Top Shot.

    70s next two days. Summer returns here... for 48 hours or so.
    Butterflies are fleeting.

    Elegant! I would have said this was a monarch. Shows what I know about British royalty and butterflies!
